A Whistleblower

grampslcf August 13, 2026 No Comments

With the release this week of TWA800: The Full Story—A Navy Whistleblower Comes Forward, filmmaker Brian Lerch has shown the power of AI to penetrate the shroud of secrecy around the July 17, 1996 destruction of flight TWA 800.

Central to Lerch’s documentary is the testimony of Navy vet, William Teele. Teele’s account of the events of that day were included in Jack Cashill’s 2016 book TWA 800: The Crash, The Cover-up, The Conspiracy.

However, a few paragraphs in a book does not do justice to Teele’s testimony. Lerch dramatized Teele’s 15-minute narration by recreating the environment in which Teele operated. In the first 45 minutes of the video Lerch also laid out the details of the investigation into the crash, including its many failings. ...

Socialism…Morally Wrong

Now some may argue otherwise with this premise. However, a healthy discussion of various aspects of socialism should produce something of value. Discussions of socialism often find themselves discussing Ayn Rand and her views.

Is Mamdani’s win in the NYC mayor race tainted? As it runs out, nearly a quarter of the votes in Mamdani’s win came from unqualified voters.

They keep changing the label. The label lies. The product never changes.

A CNN poll finds that about a third of Democrats and Democratic-leaning adults now identify as democratic socialists. Call them communists and they act insulted. They do not understand what the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) stand for.

False Flag

Ukraine is fighting a media/propaganda war. Russia is fighting a ground war to take the territory that is populated by Russian speaking people. Ukraine has upped the ante lately and is trying to weaken the Russian civilian resolve to continue fighting. Putin has stated the war is existential for Russia. Ukraine continues to lose territory. The idea that Ukraine is winning this war is ludicrous.

Would both countries be happy if the war was over? Absolutely! However, to get there is to navigate a complex series of obstacles not the least of which is the EU’s desire to keep the war going.

The next story in this conflict seems to align with some of this in the ongoing Ukraine vs Russia narrative that has been assembled for consumption.

Save the Country

There is a switch on the table, and establishment Democrats are standing over it.

One side reads Democratic Socialist Party. The other reads Save the Country. Which way will the Democrats go?

Senator Chris Murphy went on Meet the Press after socialist candidates swept New York primaries and said he wants a big tent party. Senator Adam Schiff said the same thing this week on CNN. Then he went further. He acknowledged the DSA bylaws are pretty extreme, and said he would “rather be in that big tent in the majority” than sit in a smaller party stuck in the minority.

Fauci Fraud

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) dropped the hammer on Dr. Anthony Fauci last week during the Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing on the federal government’s catastrophic COVID response. Johnson waved a massive stack of papers in the disgraced former NIAID director’s face and, at the same time, exposed one of the most brazen lies of the pandemic.

Johnson zeroed in on Fauci’s August 29, 2021 CNN appearance where the so-called “science” declared there was “no evidence” ivermectin was helpful against COVID. Fauci did this despite the fact that Fauci himself had suggested back in the early 2000’s that Ivermectin showed promise as an anti-viral agent.

The hearing last week where Dr. Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times continues to unearth “interesting” facts about the nation’s highest paid federal employee. There is little doubt that one bureaucrat reshaped science into dogma.

One of the things that I have talked about in the past was the frequent attempts by various elements in the political world to distract the public from what is really going on. The term I have used is smokescreen. Sundance over at CTH is more direct calling such activities diversions. We are both talking about the same thing.

Sundance has produced a post that tears the cover off what our “noble” politicians are doing.

Senator John Curtis says, “Utah employers tell me time and again how difficult it’s become to find enough workers to meet growing demands.” Where, “Utah employers” is more accurately described as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. ...
